im pretty sure i have social anxiety and i always get very paranoid in large crowds and sometimes its like im having an out of body experience and things go in slow motion and turn black and white when i get really nervous. its crazy that used to happen to me alot. and im paranoid generally, like if someone laughs i think theyre laughing at me no matter who they are or how impractical it seems, i get it in my head that theyre making fun of me. And on drugs paranoia is amplified x10! but i haven't done that in a long time since my parents found out i did them,.
Im hearing ya, anixaty is a hard thing to controll, must be a chemical release u can tell ur brain wahts going on tho it aint gonna listen, crouds dont botherr me tho just the past replaying its self.
I feel paranoid in a much smaller setting. I have to always check if I smell good, if there is nothing on my face and if I act normal. I'm very quiet and timid lol
Everything that is happening to you is happening inside of your head. You can change by changing your thoughts one at a time. It takes a long time and it's hard but it's the most worthwhile thing you will ever do. Start pealing back the layers of your thoughts and carefully examine each one and why you are thinking it.
I feel yah. I get very uncomfortable in public, especially around people I don't know. I always think they are judging me or making fun of me. And at work everyone speaks Spanish and I don't so I get nervous and think they are always laughing at me, it really gets to me at times. When I'm high it minimizes my paranoia for some reason, I guess it is because I'm not really thinking of anything.
I have tried that before, but I have always ran into something I didn't like along the way, freak out and give up just like I do with everything.
